Twix

Twix Gingerbread

Twix is getting in on the seasonal flavor bandwagon, releasing these gingerbread-flavored candy bars. Contrary to what you might expect, the gingerbread flavor doesn't come from the cookie—it's the caramel that's infused with it.

If you've ever bypassed mini marshmallows and topped your hot cocoa with a few Peeps, you need to try the marshmallow-chick-maker's latest flavor. The chocolate Peep is dipped in white fudge, and will be popping up in stores along with ones that taste like gingerbread, candy canes and sugar cookies. If those aren't enough seasonal flavors for you, head to Target—the chain will carry an exclusive Sugar Plum flavor this winter.

Holiday 2015 is all about ALL things hot chocolate—even down to your bubble gum. This container doubles as a bank, so you can stare at it each morning as motivation to help you save up for your next pack, obvs. Find it in stores this December.

Nestlé

Candy Cane Chocolate Morsels

Your go-to brownie recipe just got even better: These red and white morsels have a peppermint filling, which is a heck of a lot nicer to bite into than a tooth-shattering chunk of candy cane.

Tastykake

Gingerbread Snack Cakes

If making—and frosting—gingerbread men is a little too tedious for your tastes, skip the hassle and head straight to the snack cakes section of your grocery store. Tastykake's newest Kandy Kakes feature a spiced gingerbread cake with a creme filling, all covered in "white confectionery coating," which tastes a lot like white chocolate.

Chips Ahoy

Hot Cocoa Cookies

Chips Ahoy! could've made a chocolate cookie, added some vaguely marshmallow-y white chocolate chips and called it a day, but for its new Hot Cocoa Cookies, the brand went all out: Each chewy cookie features a creamy, hot chocolate-meets-ganache-like center. They'll be in grocery stores everywhere starting Nov. 2.

M&Ms

Hot Chocolate M&Ms

Naturally, hot chocolate-flavored M&Ms raises an immediate question: Does it just taste like regular chocolate?! It's followed closely with: Wait—Is there a marshmallow-y, nougat-y center?! Head to Walmart to find out for yourself.

Candace Braun Davison

Ugly Sweater Sugar Cookie Decorating Kit

What's an Ugly Sweater Party without cookies that match your Puff Paint-tastic top? I mean, really. This kit, sold at Walmart, comes with 16 sweater-shaped sugar cookies, four tubes of icing, and two packages of festive sprinkles. All that's missing is your sweet, sweet, Santa-sketching artistry.

BAILEYS Coffee Creamers

BAILEYS Coffee Creamers Frosted Vanilla Cookie

You already dip sugar cookies in coffee, so this just takes things to the next level (and spares you from turning on the oven). If the BAILEYS branding has you doing a double take, let us clear things up—there's no alcohol in this creamer ... though that doesn't mean you can't add it yourself.

Hershey's

Mint Chocolate Kit Kats

Bring a package of these to your family's holiday dinner to send the subtle message to grandma that NOBODY LIKES BUTTER MINTS. Of course, the bag will probably be gone by the end of the night, and then what would go in her cut-crystal bowl in the foyer? Better bring two bags.

Bauli

Panettone

The classic Italian holiday cake is basically a sweet bread studded with candied citrus, raisins and lemon zest. This year, Bauli is coming out with a miniature version, designed to be more bite-sized (or given as a stocking stuffer). Find it at Target, Whole Foods or CVS.

Tastykake

Red Velvet Mini Donuts

Southerners, we get it: Red velvet is an ANYTIME dessert, but during the holiday season, it feels extra-festive. Tastykake is also selling salted caramel and gingerbread-flavored powdered donuts, so you can host your own taste test.

Celestial Seasonings

Caramel Apple Tea

Take a sip and see if you can taste the caramel sauce, apple and hint of sea salt in this herbal tea, which you can find at major stores nationwide all holiday season long. Not into caramel apples? The company's also rolling out teas that will remind you of sugar cookies, candy canes, gingerbread men and sugar plums.

Nestlé

Gingerbread Cookie Dough Sheets

Cookie decorating is fun and all, but it can be quite a process. Nestlé saved a few steps for you with its cookie dough sheets—each package comes with two sheets of pre-rolled-out dough, so all you have to do is cut out the shapes you want, bake and decorate. (They're also selling cookie dough sheets in chocolate- and sugar-cookie varieties.)

Cranberry Salsa

Not all holiday treats are sweet! You can find this slightly tart salsa at most major grocery stores through the winter.

Ciao Bella

White Chocolate Peppermint Gelato

Ah, the thrill of a trip to Italy—minus the cramped, neverending flight, and requisite cheesy picture at the Leaning Tower of Pisa. But if you close your eyes and eat this gelato, it's kind of, sort of like you're there. Ciao Bella's limited-edition flavor has a white chocolate base that's speckled with finely crushed peppermint candies, and you can only find it at Whole Foods.

Chuao

Gingerbread and Peppermint-Infused Chocolates

You can find them at ChuaoChocolatier.com.

Deep Eddy

Cranberry-Flavored Vodka

Instead of that can-shaped, forever-jiggling mass of cranberry sauce on the edge of your Thanksgiving table, put a new twist on your evening meal: Cranberry-flavored shots, anyone? (It may make grandma's stories way more interesting, after all.) It's available now in liquor stores nationwide.

Godiva

Holiday Truffles

Godiva has created the ultimate sampler of holiday-inspired chocolates: Its latest gift box features a row of truffles that taste like cranberry, gingerbread, raspberry linzer torte and orange spice. You can buy it at Godiva.com now, or find the box in stores starting Nov. 9.

Keurig

Peppermint Bark Coffee

Even your k-cup habit gets the seasonal treatment, thanks to The Original Donut Shop's latest blend. Peppermint Bark has notes of white chocolate and peppermint in it, but if that's a little too minty for your taste, Keurig's also coming out with The Original Donut Shop Sweet & Creamy Maple Crème, which has hints of maple syrup in it.

Nonni's

Cranberry-Chocolate Biscotti

While you're sipping your holiday brew (and listening to Wham!'s "Last Christmas," because you know how to celebrate like your last name's Kringle), you absolutely need a festive dipping snack. It's part of a balanced breakfast, you know. This brand-new flavor can be found in most major grocery stores.

Dreyer's

Peppermint Ice Cream

This ice cream, only available in grocery stores in November and December, is for hardcore mint fans ONLY. It's peppermint-flavored ice cream loaded with candy cane pieces, which makes it the perfect excuse to head to the freezer (instead of your purse) when you need a breath freshener.

(Spoiler: It's the rest of the bag.)

Clif Bar

Hot Chocolate Energy Bars

These protein- and fiber-packed bars are made with rolled oats, roasted soybeans, and—about halfway down the ingredients list—cocoa and cocoa butter, giving it a chocolate-y taste that even health nuts can get behind. Clif Bar's donating 1 percent of its net sales of the bar to Protect Our Winters, a non-profit that's fighting climate change.
